Bart Horsten confirmed at Arden for 2019 British F4 campaign

Arden confirm their first 2019 signing Bart Horsten, who will compete with the team in British F4.

Bart Horsten will drive for Arden in the 2019 F4 British Championship – certified by FIA, powered by Ford. The 16-year old Australian will compete in the UK for the first time, joining the 2018 British F4 Team Champions.

Arden head into the 2019 season as the defending British F4 Team Champions, with the ambition of repeating their success, as well as setting their sights on the Driver’s and Rookie Cup Championships.

The 16-year old graduates into Britain’s FIA-sanctioned Formula 4 series off the back of a season in the Australian Formula Ford Championship – his first in single-seaters - which yielded several podium finishes, following a hugely successful karting career.

Horsten will lead the line for Arden, with the outfit aiming to defend their Teams title and add the Drivers and Rookie Cup honours to their accolades in 2019.

“I’m extremely excited to be racing with Arden in next year's British F4 Championship. I can’t thank them enough for their help in making the move to the UK and providing such a welcoming environment. I have huge confidence in the team and what they can achieve next season." said Horsten.

Arden CEO Garry Horner echoed Horsten’s optimism and is hopeful the team can come out at the season opener at Brands Hatch next April fighting on all fronts.

“We are delighted that Bart has joined the Arden family and will be competing in the 2019 British F4 Championship with us.Bart has the talent, experience and temperament to shine in F4 next year and we are looking forward to enjoying a very successful season together.”

The 2019 British F4 Championship will begin at the Brands Hatch Indy Circuit on the 6-7 April.

News of Horsten's British F4 teammates will be announced in due course over the winter months, as the team prepares for their title defence next season.
